  • I feel he was well intended and just naive. When he finally made it, he quickly realized he wouldn’t stay PM for long if he did, not only because the people in power wouldn’t let him if he was to push another voting system, but that his party probably wouldn’t win another election ever. (Ending the conservative/liberal back and forth forever).

    I think he could have done it and started a strong/young party, fully embrace the change albeit taking a chance people wouldn’t vote for him. But he’s a traditional political boy.

    After the french revolution, the people who took over did the same exact thing as before, and abused their power. When Lenin finally took over and gave Russians free elections, they didnt vote for him. He said fuck them and took power anyway. It do be like that for these types.




  • He has been for a while now, which is actually a violation of the US’ nato obligations. But who care anymore, the US is no longer an ally.

    Edit: it also violates a ton of border treaties, and half a doze international agreements the US has benefited from for a long time. But just with NATO

    Key points of the treaty

    • The parties agree to settle disputes peacefully
    • The parties agree to refrain from using force in a way that goes against the United Nations’ goals
    • The parties agree to consider an attack on one of them as an attack on all of them
    • The parties agree to consult about threats and defense matters
    • The parties agree to safeguard the freedom, common heritage, and civilization of their peoples
    • The parties agree to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area

    Threatening Canada violates all of these and then some.

    Martial law remained in effect until it was officially lifted on January 11, 1990. They stayed there and kept harassing people. They didnt leave the city, these tanks were not going home and tankman wasn’t trying to keep them there. His source doesn’t even say what he says it says.
